The first of what is expected to be four Tattered Cover bookstores at Denver International Airport opened Friday.

Located on the B Concourse, the bookstore is part of a license agreement with Hudson Booksellers, which is the airport's existing bookseller licensee.

In addition to the four locations, the agreement includes the creation of five Hudson News newsstands at DIA, the airport said in a statement.

The additional locations are expected to open along all three of the airport's concourses and the main Jeppesen Terminal at staggered dates throughout 2014, DIA spokesman Heath Montgomery said in a news release.

"For more than 40 years, the Tattered Cover has been a strong Colorado brand and a literary icon," Denver manager of aviation Kim Day said in the release.

To mark the new shop's opening, travelers will be able to have books signed by several notable authors over the next few days, including Graeme Simsion, "The Rosie Project" (Saturday), Doris Kearns Goodwin, "The Bully Pulpit" (Sunday) and Amy Tan, "The Valley of Amazement" (Wednesday).
